It's been very cold in New York with temperatures below zero and lots of snow! I took these photos right in the middle of a snow storm as it was starting up in the city. My commute back home from work from New York City has been an adventure this week. I'm always amazed by the endurance of New Yorkers, braving the storm. The storm inspired my urban poem, which can be read as one piece or four different "slices of life." In the midst of adversity, we can still choose to be brave and surmount any obstacle. A warm welcome to my new followers and friends. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

so true in how it all tends to blend together after a while...being out of school the first three days of the week i forgot what day it was ...cool to see the city in snow....there is just something about tht one red umbrella too you know....smiles.

Yes, time seems to become linear ... it feels good to capture the moment. It was freezing, but I couldn't resist taking photos ... it rarely snows that much in the city. And yes, the red umbrella could symbolize something unique that stands out ... you will find color if you look for it. Smiles :)

Love the photos. You captured the storm's mood beautifully, Loredana. And your words, of course. Always perfect. We got 12" of snow overnight. Fresh, powdery and beautiful if viewed with a cup of coffee from indoors looking out. :)

I don't know what snow feels like, but I'm fond of rainy, stormy days, when we happen to see people for who they are in face of things they cannot control. I like walking in the rain, and watching as people rush not to get wet, complain of soaking wet feet or cars splashing water everywhere. I also like it the way gray days seem to make people's colors more vivid and meaningful.

Thank you, Kenia. Snow is magical despite the cold. It's fun watching it come down. It has a different feeling than rain ... softer, more tangible. Rain has its own magic. Smiles. And yes, I love the contrast of colors against the gray. Glad you enjoyed the post and welcome to my blog :)

This has been quite a winter where I live too, so I can empathize with your words & photos of the season, Loredana. I liked the red umbrella on the foggy sky & the way yesterday, today, and tomorrow seem to blend into a continuous line.
